Don’t be offended. We’re sure you look very grown up. But the law says you have to be 21 and older to enjoy our beers... or view our website. If you’re not,
we’re terribly sorry, but you’ll have to come back after you’ve had another birthday or two. (Possibly more)

Mike Harting

Owner / Operator

Mike is a native of St Petersburg and gained much of his 25 years’ hospitality experience in reputable chains such as Hooters, Steak & Ale and Outback Steakhouse. At Outback, Mike operated 15 restaurants with a staff of over 1,400 employees and 65 Managers. Under his leadership, his territory on the West Coast of Florida increased store sales from 41.3 million to 49.8 million in three years. At the end of Mike’s 16-year tenure at Outback, his total unit sales represented 63 million and was the highest performing region in Florida.

Mike’s next challenge was to revitalize the brand and grow sales for an underperforming restaurant in downtown St Petersburg. After relocating the restaurant’s location to Beach Drive, Bella Brava is now a thriving restaurant and has increased sales from 1.3 MM to 4.4 MM annually in just 4 years. Mike brings his years of experience and vision to making 3 Daughters Brewing a place anyone can come to enjoy a great craft beer.
